Chance of thunderstorms through holiday weekend, National Weather Service warns

GENESEE COUNTY, MI -- The National Weather Service is warning of a chance of thunderstorms in the area after 2 a.m. Friday.

"Some of the stronger storms will be capable of producing wind gusts to 30 knots as they track to the northeast at 30 mph," the weather service reported.

A chance of thunderstorms will continue late Friday night through Monday night, according to the hazardous weather statement.

The statement explains:

"A warm front is forecast to lift north across the Ohio Valley and southern Great Lakes region Saturday through Sunday. Warm, moist and unstable air lifting across this front will provide a chance for thunderstorms.

"A cold front is forecast to track into the state late Monday, which will be the primary driver for the chance of storms late in the holiday weekend."
